Bodyguard Chardonnay is a wine of elegance and opulence. The 2021 vintage displays a rich, fragrant nose with aromas of spiced pear, star jasmine, vanilla bean and tropical rain forest. Trailing scents of pineapple, mango, crushed filberts and buttered toast are accented by hints of allspice and honeysuckle. A crisp, silky palate expands with mouthwatering flavors of white peach, pineapple, honeydew melon and lemon zest. Underlying tropical notes of papaya, kiwi and passion fruit are laced with toasty oak and baking spices, and a lush, clean finish reveals lingering impressions of citrus, almond and vanilla.
